Device for three dimensional endoscopic surgery

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for three dimensional endoscopic surgery, and more specifically, to a device for three dimensional endoscopic surgery, wherein therapeutic tools including an endoscope can be inserted into the human body through one main tube, and the therapeutic tools can be spread outward to be utilized in the human body, thereby minimizing an incision site in case of surgical operation while allowing various medical operations to be performed using one main tube. The present invention is a device for endoscopic surgery comprising: a main tube which is inserted into the body of a patient; first and second cameras which are inserted in a row into the main tube; a light source portion which is inserted between the first and second cameras; and a therapeutic tool which is located below the second camera to be inserted into the main tube.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a device for three-dimensional endoscopic surgery, and more specifically, to a device for three-dimensional endoscopic surgery in which surgical instruments including an endoscope can be inserted into the human body through one main tube and can be spread outward to be utilized in the human body, thereby minimizing an incision site at the time of surgery and performing various medical works using one main tube.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, an endoscope refers to a medical instrument which is used to directly look inside internal organs or body cavities, and is an instrument which has been made to be inserted into an organ of which a lesion cannot be directly observed without surgery or autopsy and enables observation of the lesion.[0003]In order to solve problems of the conventional laparotomy in which an abdominal site is incised with a knife, the endoscopy operation has been recently developed and conducted such that small ho...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention allows for the insertion of therapeutic instruments and an endoscope into the human body through one main tube, which can be spread outward for various medical works. This minimizes incision sites and allows for the use of natural openings without separate incision windows. The endoscope and therapeutic instruments can be sequentially inserted inside the main tube, allowing for larger therapeutic instruments to be installed and performing various medical works. Additionally, the invention allows for the installation of large-diameter cameras and washing modules for washing cameras and a light source, providing clearer three-dimensional images during medical works.

Problems solved by technology

However the conventional laparotomy has a disadvantage in that a total of four incision windows are needed since an endoscope for photographing a lesion site, an instrument for performing surgery, and assisting devices need to be respectively inserted, as shown in FIG. 1.

In other words, although the recent medical demand is that the cross-sectional area of the endoscope is made as small as possible so that diagnosis or treatment is performed using a natural opening (nasal cavity or throat) or a small incision window in a non-invasive or less invasive manner, the foregoing method has a disadvantage in that the area to be incised is increased at the time of surgery.

The foregoing configuration has an advantage in that two photographing parts and an illuminating parts for photographing three-dimensional images are folded inside the pipe-shaped body and the photographing parts are spread in the human body, so that the diameter of the body is decreased, thereby minimizing the incision at the surgical site, but has a disadvantage in that an incision window through which instruments necessary for treatment and surgery can be inserted needs to be further formed.

The foregoing configuration also has a disadvantage in that, since a separate device for washing the photographing parts is not prepared, a photographed image cannot be differentiated in cases where foreign substances are attached on lenses of the photographing parts inserted into the body.
